APPEALS TO COTTON PLANTERS.
Chairman Allison Suggests That Our
Cotton Planters OrganizeArgument
in Its Behalf.
In Sunday's edition of the Ral
eigh Post Mr. Jno. P Allison, of
this place, writes as follows in
the interest of our cotton raisers 1
oi tne Jboutn : .
, uThelow price of cotton and
the depressed condition of our

"By this continued depression
we are urougnt to tne
of "taking action for

production; the efforts to reduce
acreage have not been "success
ful to any appreciable degree".
"Is there really an over-production,
so as to cause low prices;
or is the low price due to other
causes ? Believing that the.low
price is due to" other causes, the
remedy would seem to lie in the
organizing of planters and deal
ers into a joint stock company of
sufficient strength to control the
crop. Can this be done?
There are; in round numbers,
about 1,000 counties growing
cotton. Should these counties
each raise an average of $50,000
thG difference in the price of cot
ton for one crop will almost do
this.
"J admit this seems to be a
very large amount for planters
to raise; but when we consider
the large amounts being raised
by industries of insignificant im
portance .compared with the cot
ton crop, we ought to say we
can raise this and will.
' 'There are railroad corpora
tions running through the South
with more capital. tThe sugar
refineries, Standard -Oil Co.,
American Tobacco Co., and
others I might mention, have
more capital than t this - would
amount to. Now all these, ex
cept the first mentioned of course,
are to control manufactured
goods, which is more difficult
than to control cotton, and the'ir

surplus over five , cents for; mid
dling cotton the amount could
be raised, the planter would
have his stock paid, and yet get
as much money for his crop as
hi& last crop brought or his next
is likely to bring without this or
ganization. ,
4 4 We will then be in a position
to hold all surplus ' cotton at a
nxed price, which must be uni
form throughout the year and
according to its nearness to
market. '
Local banks would do the same
business as heretofore and get
better deposits from that source.
' 'Neither would this antagonize
the manufacturers' interests. It
will help to make their own
prices more stable. They will
be satisfied when they are as
sured of our ability to maintain
ur position; they- will be bene
